Gizmodo has published an amazing story about shenanigans inside Apple stores. Somehow Gizmodo got current and former Apple store employees to dish about the naughty stuff that goes on. The list includes breaking stuff just for fun, stealing, sexual harassment, plain old consensual sex (sometimes inside the store), fraud and drugs.
But the grossest, creepiest thing:
Geniuses looking through people's hard drives for nasty personal photos, collecting them and sometimes even posting them on the Internet.
Women, Beware
Reporter Sam Biddle writes: "If a woman walked in, her stuff would get digged through, shared and laughed at. Team bonding. Your iPhone camera roll isn't safe."
Quote from one tipster: "I used to be an Apple store Expert and the most common practice by Geniuses was going through young girls computers and emailing their private photos to themselves so they could have them for personal use."
Another Apple employee tells a tale of a girl who brought in a computer with a broken display. They took it out back to fix it, went through her photos, found naked pictures she'd taken of herself, and "added that to the collection."
Biddle sums up:
"There are - and always will be - miscreants in every job... But when emails arrived in droves repeating the same naughty phenomena, you have to wonder why a company whose rep is as sterling as Apple's seems to have such a pattern of internal havoc."
One tipster who claimed to be a former Apple employee who had opened retail stores in North America and Asia wrote: "The corruption within Apple goes straight to the top... Apple is fracturing from the inside out."
It's an amazing, scary, must-read story with lots of screen grabs, emails, documents and photos. See the full story here.

Dreamweaver CS3 on a Mac Mini OS 10.5.6.
Just yesterday, I was updating my website by switching out old images with new ones. But today, DW isn't letting me do it.
I open a page (existing or new) and go to common>Image and go though the whole place image process. Save and test in Firefox, Opera and Safari. The Image is not placed with only browsers the missing image symbol showing. I've been using DW since the Macromedia days so, I'm certain I'm doing it right...
This worked yesterday!
When Photoshop or Painter starts to misbehave, I trash the preferences and all is well. This is not working with DW this time.
Here's that path to the preferences I used:
Hard drive>my mac>Library>Preferences>Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Prefs
I then toss the DW prefs and restart the app. It's not working.
Ideas? Not the right prefs?
If I need to uninstall/install, is there a way to save all my settings?
Thanks In advance
If Dreamweaver is behaving in an odd way, it frequently means you have a corrupt personal configuration folder. Close Dreamweaver, locate the personal configuration folder, and rename it. When you restart Dreamweaver, it should create a new configuration folder with all the program defaults.
For details of how to find the configuration folder, see this page in the Dreamweaver FAQ.
First, thank you for your quick response.
I tried your configuration folder idea (renaming about 5 times) but, it didn't work. Any other ideas? My next plan is to take screen shots of all the settings and somehow uninstall DW completely and start over.
I'm out of ideas :-) I guess you could try calling support and see what they say.
Before you try reinstalling, make sure you back up (export) all your site definitions.. Not sure under which menu heading this is under on a Mac, but check for it.
When Macs lose site definitions, it's often the result of a corrupt keychain. I have never needed to repair the keychain on my Macs, so I don't know the process. However, searching Mac help or Google for repair keychain should point you in the right direction.
To answer Nadia's question about where to export sites on a Mac, it's the same as Windows. Site > Manage Sites. Shift-click to select all the sites listed in the dialog box, and then click Export. Save the .ste files somewhere safe, ready for reimporting later.
Well, it's been an interesting day:(
I did save the settings (thanks for that!) then uninstalled DW using the application disk uninstall feature then started ti install DW. I was instructed to install the 'Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2'(?). So I inserted the second disk but, 'Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2' apparently isn't on that disk ether...
So... I attached my mac laptop to my mini and transfered DW over but, as you can guess, it didn't work. The s/n wasn't accepted. For anti-pirating reasons I guess.
So... I went back and tried to uninstall the DW copy from my laptop and now I'm getting a set-up error box. 'Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for Assistance'.
What's the next step? Is there a way to fix this without spending time on the phone?
You can try the steps in the article on installation issues in the Dreamweaver FAQ. However, it sounds as though you might have created problems with the licensing system, in which case Customer Support is probably your best best.

Streamers fell from the rafters Friday night inside Staples Center, the Lakers having beaten the middling Utah Jazz to end a four-game losing streak.
No one should cheer anything short of a 10-game winning streak with this team, given the way things have gone in a one-step-forward, four-steps-back kind of season.
There won't be any celebrating three months from now unless radical changes are made involving this mishmash roster or a coach who can identify what's wrong but can't seem to fix it.
Neither seems likely.
Beleaguered Coach Mike D'Antoni is apparently here to stay after receiving a vote of confidence Thursday from Lakers executives Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak.
What's worse, trading Dwight Howard or Pau Gasol could actually be a net loss for a team that can't win with any regularity even with the underperforming big men.
Double gulp.
Yes, Howard has been a hobbled, smiling mess.
But lose him and risk going into the post-Kobe Bryant era without a franchise player who could be a force again by the end of this season.
Yes, Gasol has disappeared more often than Criss Angel.
But unload the Spaniard and expect to get cents on the euro, not to mention setting the Lakers up for the frightening possibility that they lose both of their top post players should Howard decide not to sign a maximum extension this summer.
The future seems bleak no matter who is in the picture.
The Lakers entered Friday four games out of the No. 8 seeding in the Western Conference, meaning that even a monumental surge over the next few months would result in a first-round series against Oklahoma City, San Antonio or — eek — the Clippers.
Talk about one and undone.
What is the best-case scenario in D'Antoni's mind?
"Make the playoffs and then win a championship," he said before the Lakers' 102-84 victory over the Jazz. "Other than that … "
D'Antoni shrugged as his voice trailed off, indicating he was halfway kidding. Unfortunately for him, turning this season around will require some serious tweaking.
"We're down, what, four games from eighth [place] and six from seventh and we've got [40 games] to go," D'Antoni said. "So, obviously, you run off 10 [consecutive victories] or so and you're in good shape."

The Not In My Backyard syndrome is back. This time, it is Blocks 10 and 11 in Jalan Batu in the Tanjong Rhu area, where some residents are unhappy about plans to have facilities for the elderly at the void decks of their blocks.
On Sunday, a petition (below) requesting that the centres be shifted elsewhere was submitted to Member of Parliament for Mountbatten SMC, Mr Lim Biow Chuan.
One of those behind the petition, who wanted to be known only as Mr Foo, 44, said that the request was not for the centres to be built far away - just not in the void decks.
"We don't want to deprive our kids of a place to play," he said.
aren't kids playing at the void deck worse then an elderly corner? It's so noisy.
if smth has to be done for the elderly, it has to be built. you also want your parents to have somewhere to relax, not just your kids. kids can always play at the playground -.-

Faking orgasms could be the first sign of a female love rat, a new study reveals.
Harvard University researchers said they interviewed 138 female students and 121 male students who were all in relationships. According to Britain's Daily Mail, faking lust-fuelled ecstasy is like a cold shower for relationships.
"The more orgasms a woman had faked, the more likely she was to have cheated previously and the greater her likelihood of cheating again," Dr Justin Lehmiller, who analyzed the findings, told the Mail. "Fake orgasms say a lot more about a woman's odds of staying faithful than actual orgasms."
The purpose of the study was to determine if women taking a cue from Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally were more likely to cheat on their partners.
The study revealed the students had sex three times a week with women having orgasms in 61 per cent of their romps and men achieving the big O in 70 per cent of their encounters. And on the whole, women fake it a lot more than men do — 18 per cent of the time. For men, it's just five per cent.
One in six of the female students confessed to cheating on their partner and said faking it spared their sex buddy's feelings. However, men are still more likely to cheat with 26 per cent admitting they've played the role of love rat.
The study also found that women who had the most orgasms cheated no more than ones whose fireworks were more spotty.
Sexpert Tracey Cox told the Mail that most women have pulled the carnal con job because climaxing during intercourse is difficult.
"One theory might be that since women fake it more often than men do, perhaps they feel obliged to provide 'evidence' that they're enjoying themselves?" she said.

"He has a live arm but you can't depend on him for a full season, unless you had two more solid relievers without having to depend on him in big games."
and the Pirates would like this why?
i honestly wouldn't....Parnell and Familia can both get it up to or close to 100 mph,that may not translate to automatic success but throw in Duda and Den Dekker for a closer?...i'd rather see how much Brian Wilson is looking for or even go with Parnell next season,he performed pretty well in the closer's role down the stretch
and if we sign Bourn we lose our first round draft pick which this year will be the 11th overall....IMO we didn't just trade Dickey for top of the line prospects so we could forfeit a top first round pick
Hairston,yeah,i can see signing him and putting him in the corner outfield spot that we don't upgrade via trade
Hanrahan will cost the Mets a number of players that can be controlled for years and probably over 4 million dollars per season. Not worth it. That would make the Mets commit to over 11 million for a setup man and closer.
The money could be used to sign Hairston (2 year for 8 million).
With the way that the MLB payroll are calculated, the Mets are stated to be around the 95 million dollars mark as is...Hanrahan will tap the remainder til the 100 million dollars estimated payroll.
Hanrahan is a good relief pitcher, but the Mets will not be a good fit with FF on the roster as the listed closer (with guaranteed salary...7 mil right?).
Hanrahan had his career year two seasons ago. The only season that he struck out 100 batters. In 2012, Hanrahan had an ERA over 4 away from Pittsburgh and walked 36 batters in 59.2 innings. Would you want to deal with the walk issues after Benitez?

Fun facts about Mark Gubicza (Source: Wikipedia)
Mark is a retired Major League Baseball pitcher who played for 14 major league seasons with the Kansas City Royals (1984–96) and California Angels (1997). He currently does color commentary for Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim games on Fox Sports.
Gubicza was a member of Kansas City's 1984 American League Western Division winning team and as well as their 1985 World Series winning team. However, he didn't get a chance to pitch in the 1985 World Series as the Royals decided to go with a four-man starting rotation. He was elected to American League All-Star Teams in 1988 and 1989.
Gubicza finished 3rd in voting for the 1988 American League Cy Young Award after posting a 20–8 win–loss record in 35 games (all as a starter), 8 complete games, 4 shutouts, 269 2⁄3 innings pitched, 237 hits allowed, 94 runs allowed (81 earned), 11 home runs allowed, 83 walks, 183 strikeouts, and a 2.70 ERA.
He led the American League in games started in 1989 (36) and 1995 (33).
Gubicza has served as an MLB Analyst on Dodgers and Angels pre-game and post-game shows for Fox Sports West/Prime Ticket. In 2007, he was paired with José Mota on fifty Angels telecasts on Fox Sports West/Prime Ticket and KCOP. He also co-hosts Angels in the Infield with Bill Macdonald. The Angels announced that he will work roughly 75 games on television during the 2008 season. Gubizca was slated to work with Rory Markas on Angels broadcasts in 2010 before Markas's sudden death on January 4, 2010. On March 3, 2010, Victor Rojas was named as Markas' replacement.

Alchemy and chemistry in medieval Islam
|This article has been shortened from a longer article which misused sources.
Details of the earlier versions may be found in the page's history. Please help us to rebuild the article properly.
Alchemy and chemistry in Islam refers to the study of both traditional alchemy and early practical chemistry (the early chemical investigation of nature in general) by scholars in the medieval Islamic world. The word alchemy was derived from the Arabic word كيمياء or kīmiyāʾ. [1][2] and may ultimately derive from the ancient Egyptian word kemi, meaning black.[2]
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the focus of alchemical development moved to the Arab Empire and the Islamic civilization. Much more is known about Islamic alchemy as it was better documented; most of the earlier writings that have come down through the years were preserved as Arabic translations.[3]
Medieval Islamic alchemy was based on previous alchemical writers, firstly those writing in Greek, but also using Indian, Jewish, and Christian sources. According to Anawati, the alchemy practiced in Egypt around the second century BCE was a mixture of Hermetic or gnostic elements and Greek philosophy. Later, with Zosimos of Panopolis, alchemy acquired mystical and religious elements.[4]
The sources of Islamic alchemy were transmitted to the Muslim world mainly in Egypt, especially in Alexandria, but also in the cities of Harran, Nisibin, and Edessa in western Mesopotamia.[5]
Alchemists and works[edit]
Khālid ibn Yazīd[edit]
According to the bibliographer Ibn al-Nadīm, the first Muslim alchemist was Khālid ibn Yazīd, who is said to have studied alchemy under the Christian Marianos of Alexandria. The historicity of this story is not clear; according to M. Ullmann, it is a legend.[6][7] According to Ibn al-Nadīm and Ḥajjī Khalīfa, he is the author of the alchemical works Kitāb al-kharazāt (The Book of Pearls), Kitāb al-ṣaḥīfa al-kabīr (The Big Book of the Roll), Kitāb al-ṣaḥīfa al-saghīr (The Small Book of the Roll), Kitāb Waṣīyatihi ilā bnihi fī-ṣ-ṣanʿa (The Book of his Testament to his Son about the Craft), and Firdaws al-ḥikma (The Paradise of Wisdom), but again, these works may be pseudepigraphical.[8][7][6]
Jābir ibn Ḥayyān[edit]
Jābir ibn Ḥayyān (Arabic: جابر بن حیان, Latin Geberus; usually rendered in English as Geber) may have been born in 721 or 722, in Tus, and have been the son of Ḥayyān, a druggist from the tribe of al-Azd who originally lived in Kufa. When young Jābir studied in Arabia under Ḥarbī al-Ḥimyarī. Later, he lived in Kufa, and eventually became a court alchemist for Hārūn al-Rashīd, in Baghdad. Jābir was friendly with the Barmecides and became caught up in their disgrace in 803. As a result, he returned to Kufa. According to some sources, he died in Tus in 815.
A large corpus of works is ascribed to Jābir, so large that it's difficult to believe he wrote them all himself. According to the theory of Paul Kraus, many of these works should be ascribed to later Ismaili authors. It includes the following groups of works: The One Hundred and Twelve Books; The Seventy Books; The Ten Books of Rectifications; and The Books of the Balances. This article will not distinguish between Jābir and the authors of works attributed to him.[9]
Abū Bakr al-Rāzī[edit]
Abū Bakr ibn Zakariyā' al-Rāzī (Latin: Rhazes), born around 864 in Rayy, was mainly known as a physician. He wrote a number of alchemical works, including the Sirr al-asrār (Latin: Secretum secretorum; English: Secret of Secrets.)[10][11]
Ibn Umayl[edit]
Muḥammad ibn Umayl al-Tamīmī was an 11th-century alchemist. One of his surviving works is Kitāb al-māʿ al-waraqī wa-l-arḍ al-najmiyya (The Book on Silvery Water and Starry Earth.) This work is a commentary on his poem, the Risālat al-shams wa-l-hilāl (The Epistle of the Sun and the Crescent) and contains numerous quotations from ancient authors.[12]
Alchemical and chemical theory[edit]
Jābir analyzed each Aristotelian element in terms of four basic qualities of hotness, coldness, dryness, and moistness. For example, fire is a substance that is hot and dry, as shown in the table.[13] (This scheme was also used by Aristotle.)[14][15] According to Jābir, in each metal two of these qualities were interior and two were exterior. For example, lead was externally cold and dry but internally hot and moist; gold, on the other hand, was externally hot and moist but internally cold and dry. He believed that metals were formed in the Earth by fusion of sulfur (giving the hot and dry qualities) with mercury (giving the cold and moist.) These elements, mercury and sulfur, should be thought of as not the ordinary elements but ideal, hypothetical substances. Which metal is formed depends on the purity of the mercury and sulfur and the proportion in which they come together.[13] The later alchemist al-Rāzī followed Jābir's mercury-sulfur theory, but added a third, salty, component.[16]
Thus, Jābir theorized, by rearranging the qualities of one metal, a different metal would result.[17] By this reasoning, the search for the philosopher's stone was introduced to Western alchemy.[18][19] Jābir developed an elaborate numerology whereby the root letters of a substance's name in Arabic, when treated with various transformations, held correspondences to the element's physical properties.[13]
Processes and equipment[edit]
Al-Rāzī mentions the following chemical processes:
- distillation,
- calcination,
- solution,
- evaporation,
- crystallization,
- sublimation,
- filtration,
- amalgamation,
- and ceration (a process for making solids pasty or fusible.)[20]
Some of these operations (calcination, solution, filtration, crystallization, sublimation and distillation) are also known to have been practiced by pre-Islamic Alexandrian alchemists.[21]
In his Secretum secretorum, Al-Rāzī mentions the following equipment:[22]
- Tools for melting substances (li-tadhwīb): hearth (kūr), bellows (minfākh or ziqq), crucible (bawtaqa), the būt bar būt (in Arabic, from Persian) or botus barbatus (in Latin), ladle (mighrafa or milʿaqa), tongs (māsik or kalbatān), scissors (miqṭaʿ), hammer (mukassir), file (mibrad).
- Tools for the preparation of drugs (li-tadbīr al-ʿaqāqīr): cucurbit and still with evacuation tube (qarʿ or anbīq dhū khatm), receiving matras (qābila), blind still (without evacuation tube) (al-anbīq al-aʿmā), aludel (al-uthāl), goblets (qadaḥ), flasks (qārūra, plural quwārīr), rosewater flasks (mā' wardiyya), cauldron (marjal or tanjīr), earthenware pots varnished on the inside with their lids (qudūr and makabbāt), water bath or sand bath (qidr), oven (al-tannūr in Arabic, athanor in Latin), small cylindirical oven for heating aludel (mustawqid), funnels, sieves, filters, etc.

text: Jacqui Fatka Archives Email Author Energy Bill Touts 7.5 Billion Gallon RFS Biofuels get big boost with energy bill conferees agreement to set a 7.5 billion-gallon Renewable Fuels Standard. Jacqui Fatka Published on: Jul 26, 2005 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The joint House-Senate conference committee considering comprehensive energy legislation early this morning agreed to a strong biofuels package that would double the use of ethanol and biodiesel by 2012. Creation of a 7.5 billion-gallon renewable fuels standard (RFS) spearheads several important provisions for biofuels. The ethanol and biodiesel compromise is larger than the 5 billion gallons approved by the U.S. House of Representatives, but smaller than the 8 billion gallons called for by the Senate. National Corn Growers Association Director of Public Policy Jon Doggett says the higher RFS shows that ethanol now has a proven track record. "When we said five years ago that we could produce 5 billion gallons of ethanol in seven years, many doubted that the industry could do that," he says. "Now we're producing over 4 billion gallons in less than four years. That got people's attention." Renewable Fuels Association President Bob Dinneen says that, "Ethanol production of 4 billion gallons this year represents approximately 3% of the nation's motor fuel demand. Using the Department of Energy's projected growth in gasoline demand, 5 billion gallons of ethanol in 2012 would represent only about 3% of domestic motor fuel supplies. A 5-billion gallon RFS represents no new marketplace penetration for renewable fuels." Implementing this RFS will make the U.S. the leading producer and consumer of renewable fuels in the world, Dinneen adds. Key provisions adopted by the conference committee: Ensures renewable fuel use grows by establishing an RFS that starts at 4 billion gallons in 2006 and increases to 7.5 billion gallons in 2012; Provides refiners flexibility by creating RFS credits that would have a lifespan of 12 months; and, Protects consumers with waiver language that also does not undermine the marketplace certainty an RFS provides. The gasoline additive MTBE is not banned by the bill, but also does not receive liability protection from defective product lawsuits. The reformulated gasoline (RFG) oxygenate standard is eliminated 270 days after date of enactment and RFG air quality performance standards are enhanced. In addition, the tax portion of the bill is expected to include provisions important to ethanol and biodiesel. A plan to require utilities to generate at least 10% of their electricity from renewable resources by 2020 was rejected. The measure was repeatedly passed in the Senate. Doggett said NCGA has stressed with negotiators the past several days that how you implement the RFS is every bit as important as what the level is set at. "There were things we've seen over the weekend that we needed to go back and review the language and make sure that what the staff wrote down is indeed what the legislators agreed to. We have found some things that needed to be changed," Doggett said without giving exact details. Negotiators worked late into the evening Monday night. The amount of energy tax breaks and incentives are still unknown. Doggett says that part of the bill has been less transparent than the RFS level. He expects the spending level to be closer to $11 billion, higher than the $6.7 billion approved by the House and sought by the Bush Administration. Doggett expects a final draft to be drawn on Wednesday, a vote on Thursday in the House and Friday in the Senate. If the votes go as planned, President Bush could get the legislation on his desk by August 1 as he asked several months ago.

Mainly because I'm questing with my bf and don't want to level without him. Pandaria is amazing, especially when taking our time to absorb every little nuance together Yes - we read all the quest dialog, most of it is really good and sometimes funny as hell.
"If you look out of the window as a human being, at nature, all of nature is unconditionally and absolutely beautiful wherever it is. Whether it's a jungle. Whether it's a desert.

The 7,300,000 subscribers that didn't buy MOP.
Ba dum tish!
Did you think we had forgotten? Did you think we had forgiven?
Not 90 yet, currently 2 bars from 88... I prob would of been 90 if my trip to Europe wasn't 2 days after launch
I'm still level 88. Slowest I've ever leveled in WoW (and not because I dont find it enjoyable, but because I just dont have the time atm)
I still haven't gotten MOP. I think I will in the next week or so, but for now, nah. I'll wait on it.
Nope, alt working on and doing midterm stuff essentially.
I'm still lvl 87 almost 88..., i'm pretty slow lvling cause i like to do all the quest on one place, and sometimes i get bored of questing and go to SW to look for a raid (old content) or go to outland and do some dungeons to get my transmog set (still working on the headpiece..., i have killed the last boss of underbog like 15 times... /sigh)
also... my subscription canceled 5 days ago... and i haven't payed for it yet... >.>
p.s. best expansion ever, of any MMO. And I've played a lot of those.
I'm 89 now, nearly at 50%, as a boomy/cat druid. I'm taking my time and doing all the quests in every zone slowly, to get to know the lore of Pandaria.
I am not rushing myself one bit, and I am reading every quest's description. I plan on playing a bit with my Monk, later on.
I'm not. I enjoying reading the quests and taking it slow.
Karma always has the last laugh.
Not quite yet but probably sometime this weekend.
A bit of civility and respect for others opinions goes a long way toward getting any respect in return. Overly hostile, profane and insulting posts are a sign that people don't really have anything to say. Profanity is best served out in very small doses.

Expansion came out just the day I was going on vacation to my hometown, so I haven't played a lot, still 89 but i'm loving it :3
Sitll 85 , didnt buy the xpac cant get on my fucking server, fuck that game

Texas lawmakers approved a bill that replaces funds taken from public education and mental health providers but changes the structure of the state's Medicaid.

Tom Dooling leads Parts 2 & 3 of Handel's masterpiece
Handel's Messiah Parts II and III are the program this Sunday for the Sanctuary Choir of First Presbyterian Church, accompanied by a baroque ensemble playing on period instruments. Tom Dooling conducts the free concert that starts at 4 p.m.
"Messiah was popular in its day, and throughout history a real staple," says Dooling. "It is probably one of the most, if not THE most recognizable choral/orchestral works in the repertoire."
Iceland's Ásgeir Trausti has taken the music charts in his native country by storm since his debut album, "Dyrd I Daudathogn," came out in September of last year. The presale of his album broke records on Icelandicmusic.com, reached gold sales in six weeks and has since gone platinum.
While some of the musical backing in his songs may sound familiar, the vocal stylings in his native Icelandic make the vocal feel more like a participating instrument than a means to deliver the lyrics.
A set of bills in both the Texas House and Senate are there to ensure that the state's veterans are able to use military training to obtain jobs.
Sen. Leticia Van de Putte authored the bill that ensures training and certifications obtained by veterans and their spouses while serving in the military immediately transfer with them into civilian life.
Acting on a commission for "La Forza del Destino" from the Bolshoi Theatre in St. Petersburg, Verdi responded on a practical level by preparing for winter; it would premiere in late November.
He sent ahead Italian provisions - sausage, pasta and salami - acquired a very warm coat and commenced work.

With undisputable pop leanings and an ear for a sweet vocal melody, Diego Peralta is one of the leading independent voices on the Chilean music scene in his hometown of Valparaiso.
Diego was one of only a few musicians representing Chile at this year's South By Southwest Music Festival (SXSW), and this was his first time in the United States.
After decades of impunity, a former Guatemalan strongman stands trial for genocide. How the proposed minimum wage increase would affect Latinos. How a declining interest in Chicano studies reflects an identity shift for many Latinos. This summer, Phoenix, Ariz. is trying to diversify city lifeguards, the classic summer job for teens.
Lisa LeBlanc's musical idols are from the world of classic rock and metal. They're big rock stars with charisma, many of them men. Her approach to folk music is bold and confrontational, a style that she has deemed "folk trash."
The San Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau is kicking off a new campaign to increase occupancy at area hotels during Fiesta week.
Krystal Jones, senior brand manager for the bureau, said locals often don't try to book hotels, thinking they're booked up long in advance.
"Fiesta, of course, is a busy time, and a lot of locals come and enjoy Fiesta. And automatically you think there might not be room at the hotels but we do have availability. We sit at about 70 percent," she said.

Attack the Person, Not the Ideas:
Attack the person in some way. For example:
- Attack their expertise, questioning their qualifications or experience
- Comment on their inability to make a good argument
- Attach them to discredited others
You are not qualified to make such a statement.
You would say that, wouldn't you.
And who do you think is going to believe you.
Attacking the Person is a form of distraction, forcing them into defense and away from their argument.
If he signs for an average LT deals, fine...If not, let him walk and move Martin to his natural position.
He isnt an average LT why would he sign an average LT contract?
He needs to take a major paycut or I would let him walk. If I was Ireland I would already be starting contract talks with Sean Smith , Reggie Bush and Hartline. I could careless if they keep Long or not. He got paid a lot of money the past few years and has been average at best!
Resign long and draft more talent on offense and defense, don't make another whole on the line
Smith is a must with VDs trade, and hopefully may have figured out a few things, and he stays healthy because he keeps his jersey clean

Hey like many others I am having issues with slow video playback on Premiere cs 5.5
This is the laptop I recently purchased specifically so I could run this software. I am disappointed to say the least:
When playing back video, the CPU is used at a max of 20% and the GPU is something similarily low. I purchased this laptop
a month ago and have only installed media related software like photoshop, premiere etc.
After Effects works beautifully for me, while Premiere does not.
I use Canon 5D HD video at 1080p video at 30fps
I realize this issue has been posted numerous times, but I am not sure how the issues apply specifically to my laptop,
so I was wondering if anyone could help me out? Should I just get an earlier version of premiere?
Break out the raid to individual disks and add an eSATA 7200 RPM disk. Tune the system and get rid of the bunch of crap that most laptops come with.
As Harm pointed out it is not good to use system disk for editing.
If you have possibility to tweak your laptop, it will work much better.
I have almost the same laptop except with GTX570M display adapter.
Here is a thread couple months ago:
After that I took away optical drive and bought HDD Caddy from Newmodeus.com and installed another WD Caviar Black 750G.
So now I have 120 G SSD as system disk and two 750G disk striped together as data and project disk.
Project disk's speed is now 225 Mbytes/s read and write
If I need optical drive I use external.
120 G system disk is a little too small because I'd like to keep the old version of Adobe Production suite with CS6.
You can also use USB3 and eSATA external drives.
If you can have two or more disks in an external box it is of course better.
Have you "hacked" your GTX560M?
Even in raid, only one "effective" hard drive is not going to work very well... here is why...
Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
Partition = Crash http://forums.adobe.com/thread/957286
I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing
Steve Grisetti in the Premiere Elements forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856208 and Jim Simon in the Premiere Pro forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856433 use USB externals for editing
A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used the eSata Dock below... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers

Ok I will
1) try to figure out how to break raid 0 onto individual disks
2) find out if I can use my HP SimpleSave Desktop dt1000i 1 TB External Hard Drive as my third harddrive
Also, YES I have hacked my 560 graphics card, the yellow line is there indicating I have Mercury Playback
It was my understanding that I had 2 harddrives, are you saying I only have one that is partitioned?
I have a OS_Install (C:) Drive (552GB) and a Data (D:) Drive 368GB
If I have two, I'll try to incorporate my external as a third...
Thanks Harm, pejaka and John for your help, I hope I am understanding this correctly Off I go....
From a hardware point of view, you have:
2 HDD's configured as a single disk for Windows by raiding it into a single volume, aggravated by your solution to partition this volume into two separate volumes.
NEVER partition disks. Do not stripe raid your OS disk. Only stripe disks where it does not matter if you lose all data, where you can say, 'so what, I don't care'. Most people will say that they hate, and I mean really hate to reinstall the OS from scratch, tune it again, get new activation codes for their software, run out of activation codes and have to request new ones (your request will be answered in a couple of weeks...) and similar.
Basically you need four disks (at least from Windows look at it), of which three are 7200 RPM fast disks and a backup disk. 1 for OS/programs, 1 for pagefile/scratch and 1 for projects/media and the last one for backups. That is the practical minimum, but more are welcome.

Taking a new step to end the decline of film production, the Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday said it plans on waiving permit fees for all pilot productions as well as for the first year of filming in the city of Los Angeles.
The council also asked for reports on how to cap a tax charged broadcast companies and how to get the state to develop a tax credit for video game manufacturers.
"In 2006-2007, Los Angeles was home to more than 60 percent of the dramas," said Councilman Eric Garcetti, who is running for mayor. "Last year, that dropped to 29 percent. That represents thousands of jobs - good-middle class jobs - that are lost to the city.
"We want producers to know that when they film a pilot here they are welcomed and if it is picked up, they will want to stay in Los Angeles."
The city could lose an estimated $231,000 in tax revenue.
"That's a small price to pay for a big return," Garcetti said.
Film L.A. President Paul Audley called it a significant step for the city.
"This sends a message to the industry that we do want them to stay here," Audley said. "The next step is for the city to work with Sacramento about getting tax incentives for the industry."
Audley said it has been a combination of incentives offered by other cities and states that have lured production away from the Los Angeles area.
Ed Duffy, business agent for Teamsters Local 399, said the city action recognizes the importance of the jobs behind the cameras.
"Much of the Southern California economy depends on the industry, from filming to tourism, to the dry cleaners and caterers," Duffy said. "We need to be able to offer the incentives to compete with other jurisdictions."
Councilman Paul Koretz said the incentives are critical for the industry.
"There is no question that film and television are the underpinnings of the Los Angeles economy," Koretz said. "There is no question that runaway productions threaten our economy. We have to do everything we can to offer incentives to film and television."
As for broadcast studios, the council asked for a report on how it can cap taxes on the facilities to keep them in the city. It would be similar to an existing entertainment industry cap.
In addition, the council asked the state Legislature to look at offering a sales tax refund to video game manufacturers to keep them based in the city.

The day 'wogball' died and 'football' arrived
The 2006 World Cup was a significant moment in the history of Australian multiculturalism, particularly in terms of how it affected the Australian-Croatian community.
As Australia and Croatia lined up in the last group stage match, never before had the question been put so viscerally: are you going to barrack for Australia or Croatia?
Of course questions of identity and choice of home are complex. Lifestyle, relative affluence, human freedoms, and family are all factors. But still, the passions of sport emanate from the heart and have a fair bit to do with identity as well.
If there was any confusion in the hearts and minds of the Croatian-Australian community going into the match, the players on both sides appeared to resolve the issue by playing out a draw. Australia advanced to the knockout stage of the competition and names like Viduka, and Horvath were being celebrated, not simply by the Croatian community, but by the entire Australian community. In this moment "wogball" died and "football" arrived. At the same time the result did not ask anyone to choose one country above the other.
Mixed feelings usually accompany drawn matches in any sport, yet on this day, for the Croation-Australian community, the reaction was joyous.
The Croatian Diaspora in Australia is estimated to be 120,000. They make an enormous contribution to Australian society. They also have a hugely positive impact on our foreign relations.
In 1991, as Croatia left the former Yugoslavia and sought to declare its independence, the Croatian Diaspora played a critical role around the world in encouraging their new countries to recognise the homeland. In the case of Australia, we were the first non-European country to recognise Croatia.
Last week I had the honour to lead the first ever Australian government level visit to Croatia. And the role Australia played in the recognition of Croatia was not lost on the current Croatian government.
Today, the Diaspora is the bedrock of our bilateral relationship with Croatia. As Croatian-Australians seek to live and move more easily between Croatia and Australia they provide and agenda of interactions between the two governments. A reciprocal pensions agreement has been negotiated. A reciprocal health agreement is in the pipeline.
But the real contribution that the Diaspora has made is by introducing to each other two countries who in the community of nations have much in common.
Next year Croatia will become a member of the European Union (EU). To have met all the requirements of accession to the EU in just twenty years since independence is a remarkable achievement. Add to this NATO membership in 2009, and Croatia is a country firmly in the category of close ally.
Croatia is making an important contribution to the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission in Afghanistan, as well as to nine UN-led missions and two EU-led missions. Like Australia it is combining its military engagement in Afghanistan with a development assistance agenda. And just like Australia a strong focus of that development assistance is in improving the health and education of women.
The international reflexes of Croatia and Australia are very much the same.
While being of the 'Old World' in many ways, Croatia is a young country like Australia, willing to take a fresh look at world affairs and contemplate new ideas.
As two middle powers located in strategic and complementary parts of the world there is much that we can do together.
The Croatian Diaspora is just one Diaspora in Australia that has a wonderful impact on our foreign affairs. These are impacts we must value and use more.
An exchange of gifts is an almost universal feature in the relations between two countries.
Its principal sponsor is the Geelong Croatian Community, the fact of which is emblazoned on their jersey along with the Croatian national crest. While the club plays in the Victorian State League second tier it nevertheless has the honour of having produced four Socceroos: Steve Horvath, Josip Skoko, Matthew Spiranovic and Francis Awaritefe. Horvath and Skoko played in that World Cup match back in 2006. In the Croatian squad for the same game was Joey Didaluca, himself a product of North Geelong, and a capped Croatian player.
The red and white North Geelong jersey is a symbol of the unique bond between Croatia and Australia. One such jersey now rests proudly in the office of the Croatian Deputy Prime Minister.
For all the work that was done in our bilateral meetings, it was the story of North Geelong that mattered most. It was a reminder that because of the Diaspora, Croatia and Australia are not just good friends – we are family.
The benefit of that in our international relations is immeasurable.

We all come from somewhere else originally, even The Aboriginals, ...........
That's interesting…...so where did the Aboriginals come from and how long does one have to be here before one can say they are 'from here ' ?.........
Lance says:
Huge soccer (football) fan, and having been spoilt by two great years for Brisbane and having enjoyed 2 sold out home grand finals, I just can't wait for the season to start. Though unlike the fans of many other codes I still enjoy my NRL and Rugby Union and don't feel the need to rubbish other codes. There is nothing quite like being in a soccer crowd, it is just different from any other sporting atmosphere. All countries play soccer, and the more people who come here from other countries the more the sport will grow here!
WA Redneck says:
Not a big soccer fan but that was a truly awesome sporting contest, both sides trying their absolute best. It had suspense, controversy and a draw a pretty fitting result.
My mother was born in Croatia but I was born here. I think its a pretty fair comment that the older Croatians havent integrated terribly well but I dont think thats accurate with the baby boomer or gen X generations. But apart from language and food I dont think the two cultures are that much different anyway… Croatia is very much a Christian (Catholic) country, they work 9-5, love sport, fishing and beer. The young people wear the same fashion labels we like, they all have iphones, use facebook etc. They probably have a way to go on some social issues such as racism, but then you could pretty easily say that about Australia too. And family is probably a bit higher priority than here, more like italians in that regard.
Funny their should be a punch article on Croatia…I just cooked some sauerkraut for lunch!
Dovidjenja, kako ste!
Ricardo Jones says:
Those commenting only on the football vs soccer part of the article clearly didn't read past the first paragraph. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
The article delves further then a simple argument on soccer vs football. This article is more representative of immigration, Croatia's entry to the EU and our relationship to Croatia. But all some can see is the word football. Simpletons.
It's a good article on the Croatian-Australian relationship, for those who are interested in reading past the headline.
vox says:
Soccer is the real deal. The only 'football'. It is played, not for money, but for reasons of loyalty. The fan base is the best behaved sporting audience in the world, and the rules are consistent and sensible.
After a long, painful, but exciting game has resulted in a draw, (sometimes or maybe often), they have a shootout. Then we have a winner.
Those who say, "Why not just have a shootout?", miss the point. That would not allow us to witness the grace, the poetry, the very elan with which we are entertained every match day.
Sir Robert Helpmann, our greatest ever dancer once described this same game as "Ballet with balls". I rest my case.
Jezza says:
Yes, we understand that soccer is the most popular game in the world, but here in Australia, AFL is the only national code and is the one true football game. Soccer doesn't even come close.
JoniM says:
Sorry Richard!
The day "wogball" died and football arrived was the year before in Sydney at the penalty shootout in the final qualifier against Uruguay for the 2006 World Cup spot ! Australia's greatest ever moment in world sport !
It was Mark Swartzer ( goal keeper with 2 saves ) and John Aloisi (striker and winning penalty goal) who won this for Australia. The players with German and Italian descendant backgrounds triumphed contibuted most to that moment ! The Croation descendant , Mark Viduka missed his penalty shot , placing even more pressure on Aloisi to get Australia through ! That was the night that changed the game to " football" in Australia !
As for the rest of the article…..what was the point !
We are a great multicultural country attractive to everyone around the world. The key for success as a nation is that those coming here from other countries need to adopt Australia as its new country and leave behind the ills of their former homeland that they sought to move away from.
Not sure that the Croats have been the best exponents of that to this point !
chuck says:
Nice people and nice food - Croatia. I'd love to go and have a look. As for football - the team that has the most number of its players fall over in 2 halves is obviously the winner!
marley says:
I am struck by the repeated use of the term "diaspora" in this article. That is a word referring to mass migrations of people from their ancestral homelands, which is fair enough, but it also has connotations of a displaced people who still retain emotional and often political links to that homeland. Frankly, I think that after the first generation, new migrants should be Australian, not members of a Croatian (or any other) diaspora.
It's fine to hold on to cultural and linguistic traditions. It's another thing to regard yourself as being displaced, particularly if you're third generation. And by the way, that goes as much for Australians who still think of themselves as Irish or English, and maintain historical grudges after six generations in this country. None of this is conducive to building a cohesive Australia.
simonfromLakemba says:
Good article as usual Richard. If it wasn't for the Cro-bars half of Canberra wouldn't have been built!
Best Croatian video
Joe says:
The Croatians certainly made contributions to Australian society when they conducted terrorist attacks against Yugoslav diplomats in Sydney and Melbourne in the 1970s - really bad contributions.
Not that the Serbians are any better, mind you.
KimL says:
My Husbands mother was Croatian, his father was Serbian, they fled here after WW2. My husband is as Aussie as they come, he was born here. He is barracking for Australia. We all come from somewhere else originally, even The Aboriginals, but Australia is our home, our loyalty ( my husbands and mine) is to the country we reside in and who gives us shelter and to the country we love
NESLIHAN KUROSAWA says:
Hi Richard,
Does that actually mean that it has taken a while for every one to come to terms and true appreciation for "the game of football" which is enjoyed by hundreds of millions of people around the world especially in places like Europe, Middle East and South America, just to name a few. So all those millions of people are wrong and a handful of people in Australia are right? And should they also call Australian Football "wog ball" or something else?
This is all thanks to some very determined and courageous migrants living in Australia? How about all the other nationalities living in Australia, who are also very passionate about football? Does this article have a point at all? This particular article reminded me of an advertising very much like the ones on CNN for the sole purpose of "travel Croatia", no offence intended.
About joining the EU? No country should be in a hurry to do so with all the troubles looming in the EU Zone. So said my friends living in Denmark, Norway and Switzerland. Especially for countries such as Spain and Portugal reaching all time new highs when it comes to unemployment levels and more hard times ahead economically, I can only presume.
There are also countless other nations doing their bid and working tirelessly for the UN peace keeping forces as well as NATO's security and rebuilding efforts in Afghanistan. At the end of the day it is very much a combined effort on all sides which matter. A bit like all different nationalities making their bid to make Australia very unique, indeed! Kind regards to your editors.
Tony of Poorakistan says:
I'm against these reciprocal pension agreements and I'd like to see the figures of those that come out here long enough to get citizenship and then wander back home on an Australian pension.
Are the Aussie taxpayers ahead? Behind? Breaking even?
Nathan says:
That was the day i lost all respect for Viduka for choosing not sing the Australian national anthem, apart from that it was a draw on paper only. I personally enjoy the contributions of both the Serb and Croatian community at events like the Australian Open. If you wanted to identify a section of the community that has integrated well into Australia Croatians would not be even close to the top of the list.
